The BON Awards is the rave of the moment and Abeokuta City is waiting with bated breath to welcome those who are coming witness 9th edition of the most anticipated Nollywood event.

The sensational and delectable actor, Gbenro Ajibade and Kannywood Queen, Rahama Sadau have been unveiled as hosts of Best of Nollywood, BON 2017 Award. According to organisers, the duo have been carefully selected as this year’s anchors because not only do they have the requisite physical demands for such an assignment, they surely do possess the intellectual gravitas to steer it to a safe habor. “Gbenro is one actor, who many admire for his carriage and personal discipline. Married to beautiful Osas, he has successfully strived to balance family values with professional pressure, thus putting him on this enviable pedestal. On her part, Rahama as a budding face in the industry is daily achieving what no Kannywood actor or actress has come close to since her debut, with such energy that scares the faint-hearted. Today, she is arguably one of the most sought after actresses, with huge cross-over potential. The actors will certainly thrill their audience and treat them to a taste of the qualities that have set them apart as BON promises to shut down the Gateway state on December 16th, 2017.” Even as this year’s award promises to be exciting and eventful, and its venue goes South West, we look at the milestones of the prestigious awards so far now in its 9th year, the years of manifestation.  In 2016 Best of Nollywood Awards held its 8th edition at El-Dorda Events Center in Aba, Abia State on 10th December. It was a gathering of greatness and promises considering that the country and citizens were feeling the heat of recession. What a way to assuage Nigerian and Abians by hosting a great show portraying the immense potential of the motion picture industry. Hosted by ace comedian. Okey Bakassi and ravishing Mercy Aigbe, the award had the presence of its Cheif Host, Governor of Abia State, Dr Ikpeazu.  Alex Ekubo in his role, The First Lady stole the show winning The Best English Actor In A Lead Role and Judith Audu (Not Just Married) won the Best English Actress in a Lead role.

*Scarcity: Normalcy returns as fuel stations get supply of petroleum products*

Queues have begun to vanish from filling stations across Nigeria’s major cities after the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Ltd intervened in the logistic issues that had breached the supply of premium motor spirit (PMS).

Findings by this newspaper across filling stations in Abuja showed that queues are disappearing and normalcy has returned.

Queues have disappeared from most filling stations across major locations like Kubwa, Central Area, Wuse, Maitama, and Gwarimpa.

Speaking on the development, a top official said, “The fuel stations round shows that the situation is calm. All stations have products and are selling.”

Recall that this newspaper had reported that the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) on Tuesday warned against panic buying, adding that normalcy would return.

The National Secretary of IPMAN, James Tor, said, “If there is no product, then we can not give out anything. But happily, now, there are products, and the federal government is doing much. yesterday, our national president was explaining to us that the NNPCL has opened up some of their depots so that we can have products supplied and distributed to the public.

“The president (IPMAN) even called me this morning (April 30, 2024) about the increase in the supply. So, what we are witnessing is just a bridge of what is going on and what is going on.

“But happily enough, I want to announce to the public that there shouldn’t be any panic buying, because when this thing happens, and people start rushing here and there and trying to accumulate the products, that effect will go a long way to affect everybody.

He explained that Nigeria exists in a global system that is influenced by the crisis in the Middle East between the Israelis and Iran.

“All these things if we put them together (impacts the Nigerian market),” Tor said, adding “any slightest thing that happens in the world, will affect the supply and distribution of petroleum products”

However, he expressed confidence in the role of the NNPCL in playing in ensuring energy security for Nigerians.

Tor said, “Good enough, an NNPC is ready and has opened up some of the depots so that they will start bringing in our product for distribution. I want to assure you that in any moment from now, you will see that the queues will be going down because they have intensified the supply.

“With what the NNPC is doing, very in a little, few days, you will start seeing the impact of what they are doing because IPMAN is involved.”
